Arduino Projects

Arduino projects I've used to teach my kids a practical approach to coding – a programming approach used by the most efficient developers in the real world.

Over the past few years I've had a lot of fun working on Arduino projects with my kids. The idea has been to teach them a practical approach to coding as I see it practiced by efficient developers in the real world.

That typically means starting by finding some kind of sample code that is already out there on the internet, code that already kinda/sorta does what we want it to.

Then it's about cleaning in up – good use of white space, useful comments, better structure (things like moving variables up to the top).

Next comes increasing the functionality – how do we make it do what we want?

It's been a lot of fun and very educational. This is the way I see coding done in the real world and believe it is a great programming foundation for them.
